Husband-and-wife business teams are not rare. Many are successful. Adam and Lori Faren are among the success stories.
Adam Faren is a journeyman plumber, licensed in California and Oregon, with over 30 years of experience. Lori Faren has no plumbing credentials — unless being married to one counts — but she worked for years in the office of a family fishing company in Canada. She knows ledgers and bottom lines and depreciation. Says Adam about his wife: “Lori’s strength is numbers and systems.”Nineteen years ago, the couple decided to pool their experience and start their own Portland, Oregon-area company, Pipeline Plumbing.
